People are in prison for less than the NE DBs did to the Colts receivers in the title game.

Some teams and players seemed to get 10 yards instead of 5, if this new emphasis levels the playing field, I'm all for it.

You'd be all for it also if you were one of the teams that always got the short end of the stick.

Penalties are always less enforced during the playoffs. Everyone knows that. It's the good teams that capitalize on that knowledge. This will go away about week 6 or so when the NFL realizes that the play stoppage is not worth the extra scoring in terms of making the games more exciting.
